Useful forum, hoping someone can help - my E855 Memovox is missing the pin on the reverse of the caseback against which the alarm hammer strikes. Is this an easy thing to replace or repair? | ||

It is usually not a big deal. Requires some welding though. | ||

Thank you - is it just a piece of stainless rod? | ||

Basically yes. The steel back pins tamper into the hole with a screw thread (about 2 threads) but still need to be tack welded on. The gold ones are welded on. | ||

I should also ask - is there a source of replacement pins for a steel-cased watch, or are the dimensions of the pin available? My watchmaker wasn't willing to consider replacement without knowing exactly what should be fitted. | ||

It is just a pin. Any parts house will have stainless pins in a variety of diameters for the repair of bracelets for example. This is not complicated problem. | ||

Thanks, I'll see if I can find someone willing to take it on. |
